3. The Lodge at Buckberry Creek, Gatlinburg

If you’re looking for a mountain getaway just a few miles from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, check out the Lodge at Buckberry Creek in Gatlinburg. It occupies 26 woodsy acres and even has its own on-site hiking trails.

The property was constructed to resemble the Adirondack Great Lodge style, which was popular in the 1920s, and as such has a rustic, grand vibe about it. The rooms and suites all feature comfortable beds, Jacuzzi tubs, balconies, and fireplaces. A continental breakfast is included and there is also a restaurant on-site for other meals.

 

4. The Hermitage Hotel, Nashville

The Hermitage Hotel, located right downtown, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and the five-star, five-diamond property is one of Nashville’s last old-world hotels. Designed in Beaux Arts style, it is an architecturally impressive property throughout with a very posh-looking lobby.

Expect rooms and suites that are elegant luxe here. They are done up in period decor, with thick draperies and upholstered furniture in bold colors, but also come with modern conveniences like large flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi.

Amenities include a spa and gym. There is also an on-site restaurant, the Capitol Grille, which serves up Southern classics paired with fresh, local produce. If you are looking to do a little shopping, the Hermitage also has a boutique on the grounds that carries products from almost 40 local artisans.
